All eyes will be on San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, as Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League Final – an all-English showdown and the sixth of its kind in European competition history.
Both teams come into this clash looking to salvage their seasons after underwhelming domestic campaigns. A Europa League title would not only bring silverware but also secure continental football for next season, especially with their Champions League and Europa League hopes hanging by a thread.
Tottenham’s Golden Opportunity
Despite a disappointing Premier League season, Tottenham have a golden opportunity to end the 2024/25 campaign with a long-awaited major trophy – their first in 17 years. The significance of this match can’t be overstated for both the club’s fans and management.
Pressure on United to Reclaim European Glory
Manchester United, on the other hand, enter the final under pressure. The Red Devils haven’t won in their last six encounters with Spurs in all competitions. A Europa League triumph would mark a return to the continental spotlight for Erik ten Hag’s side.
A Rare Continental Encounter
Interestingly, this is only the second-ever European meeting between the two clubs. The first was in the 1963/64 European Cup Winners’ Cup, where United advanced to the quarter-finals with a 4-3 aggregate win.
History in the Making
Tottenham are chasing their first European trophy since 1984, while United aim to repeat their 2017 Europa League success against Ajax – a team that featured current stars André Onana and Matthijs de Ligt.
Although United have reached eight European finals, they have lost three of their last four, including the 2021 final against Villarreal on penalties. They remain the second most frequent English finalists in Europe after Liverpool, who have 15 final appearances.
